peer agreement (net): +4Adjunct professor Explanation: Professors whose primary responsibilities lie outside the University. Usually adjunct faculty members derive their principal income from sources outside the University, though they may be paid for teaching University classes on a part-time or full-time basis. Persons holding the title Adjunct are eligible to exercise the responsibilities of Associate Graduate Faculty. Universities frequently hire adjunct professors to teach highly technical courses in subject areas that undergo rapid change and require the experience of someone active in that particular field, or when they simply need more staff. A visiting professor is a professor on leave who is invited to serve as a member of the faculty of another college or university for a limited period of time, often an academic year. A visiting professor stays at the host university and teaches classes ONLY there—does not go back and forth between the host and the other university. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-04-05 19:57:48 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Anila, As always, you never stop flattering me by searching my answers... Just FYI, there are three different rankings in professorship: Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor (does your Webster dictionary mention anything about these??). In addition, their definitions are “set”, that means, one will get the same definitions in a piece of paper that is given to him or her when he/she applies for a faculty position with a university (would you want me to mail you a copy of it?) or maybe in some internet site. The term asked is definitely “adjunct professor” and not visiting professor as you suggest. Since you found a good internet site, and are calling for a careful interpretation of the definitions, I suggest you do so. Now, about the Adjunct Professor. An adjunct professor can be an instructor, or can hold a Ph.D. just like the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and the Professor. An adjunct professor can even be a Professor. The Adjunct itself is not a ranking (like Assistant Professor), it describes that this Professor (adjunct), is teaching one or some courses at some university because of his great experience in a particular field, or if the university needs more staff. Usually, an adjunct is part-time, but can be ¾ or full-time. About other professors: An Assistant Professor and an Associate Professor are both below the Professor. They need tenure to reach the Professor ranking (actually, even the Assistant Professor needs tenure to reach the Associate Professor). Tenure means mainly publishing articles in journals of the field, good teaching records, and good citizenship work—outreach. This is how it is at BYU where I teach. Other universities may have different requirements, but publications and teaching are the same everywhere. I realize that is hard for you to not be right all the time, but you need to accept the reality that no one knows everything! - Vjollca I teach at Brigham Young University |
